hi there,this is a long shot im guessing but worth trying...
at the moment im doing our family history (history rather than just the tree) and as it happens my granddad and his brother were keen photographers. granddad was also a photographic technician at kodak, i believe he was responsible for film sensitizing in harrow, london, and he retired in febrary 1977.
as well as finding out more about his job by contacting kodak (if of course they dont tell me its something to do with data protection or of course dont have a clue
) are there any good links or books on the history of kodak, of chemical production and also about old cameras and photographic techniques? i do have a book called photography, theory and practice by l. p. clerc, which is pretty in depth, however, but this only is current up to the 1950s, and id like to find out about the time he worked in the 60s and 70s.
im hoping to get info about the place he worked at in london, as well as what it was he did. the history piece on their site is pretty brief giving just a general overview of the company.
obviously my dad knows a fair bit, but id like to go into more depth.
as well as this we have literally a mass of stuff. cameras, negatives, photos, three different projectors and different slide types, paper, a few large glass plate negatives, a load of other pieces of equipment which weve still not been through (like i said, theres a lot).
in the not too distant future im going to scan some of his photos and share them here if anyones interested.
anyway thanks for reading, just thought id share
